Forty-Three Septembers: Essays Book

I really enjoyed reading her thoughts on her life and how she is connected in the world. It's important to read about people's experiences that reflect your location. Jewell Gomez is so different from me but her background of Black lesbian writer/artist is important to my background as Black queer/lesbian who is most definitely not an artist. I enjoyed her analysis of black communities response or lack thereof to LGBT folks in the communities. I also appreciated her isolation as a form of censorship for black writers and black LGBT writers. Honestly this is a must buy for me. I believe that this book will offer me different insight on life at different points in my life. I'm just sorry it took me so long to finish reading it.
